Lyrics

Alleluia. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up,
behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; which said unto them:
Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven?
In like manner as ye have seen him going up into heaven, so shall he come again.
God is gone up with a merry noise, and the Lord with the sound of the trumpet.
Christ to highest heaven ascending, led captivity captive.
Sing ye to the Lord who ascended to the heaven of heavens to the sun rising.
See the Conqueror mounts in triumph,
See the King in royal state,
Riding on the clouds his chariot
To his heavenly palace gate;
Hark! the choirs of angel voices
Joyful Alleluias sing,
And the portals high are lifted
To receive their heav’nly King.
Bishop Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1885)
preceded by a Proper at Mass on Ascension Day
